A Very Gucci New Year

We hope you all had a merry Wholesale Weekend, but if you happened to have missed out on our wholesale prices bonanza, we always have another savings event next at bat. So sound the kazoos and pour the champagne, friends, because our New Year's Sale is happening now! For 2013, we wish all our blog readers prosperity, happiness, and new designer watches, like the brand new merchandise we have on sale with savings up to 89% off. This New Year's savings event includes some of the most sought-after luxury watches including manufacturers like De Grisogono, Bedat & Co., and Gucci.

With 278 stores operating worldwide, The House of Gucci remains the biggest-selling Italian brand ever. As one of the rare digital watches in our sale, the Gucci 114 Digital watches for men carry a lot of weight with us. Any regular reader of our blog knows our predilection for classic, analogue timepieces, but we could not help but grow fonder of the Gucci 114 the longer we used it. Between the bold red rubber strap and the highly stylized dial, Gucci has come up with one of the trendiest digital watches of this year and the next. Get it with 2nd day delivery for only $5 for a limited time!

Retail Therapy: Gucci Watches comes to town

Exciting news for folk keen on adding a luxury bag to their collection: Gucci is opening in Auckland in late April. And it's not just bags - luggage, shoes, watches, fragrances, eyewear and the Gucci Gift Collection will be available in what is set to be Gucci's largest outlet in Australasia, clocking in at 300 sq m. There will also be ready-to-wear. The store is in the Imperial building, 48 Queen St.

And Louis Vuitton is moving across the road to be Gucci's next-door-neighbour. The new LV store at 56 Queen St will be larger than the current one, meaning a bigger selection of shoes, bags, luggage, Gucci watches and accessories.

Time for T

Trend-conscious parents should get to The Warehouse next Wednesday. We're telling you this now because last time, T-shirts designed for children by New Zealand label World sold out pretty quickly. It's all for a good cause, with $5 from each T-shirt - they cost between $15 and $18 - going to the Starship Foundation for lifesaving equipment and air emergency services. The World Starship Foundation T-shirts feature motifs such as milk bottles, waistcoat outlines and sparkling wands.
